Flax is at Kentucky. No clue on Criswell but he has all but eliminated AU anyway.

What happened with the kid that Decommitted but we still thought we lead for? I can't remember his name seems like he was a lineman.

Remaining Known targets

QB 1
4* Chandler Morris - Son of new AU OC Chad Morris, Trending Oklahoma, February Signee
4* Jacolby Criswell - February Signee. All but eliminated AU before the Chad Morris hire. Let's see if Morris changes things.

TE 1
4* Jeremiah Pegues - Has become a major target. Visited for BCW. AU appears to lead

OL 1-2
5* Broderick Jones - (UGA): AU trying to get traction: may be tough w/ UGA landing Matt Luke: Febrary Signee
3* #1 Juco OT Jeremy Flax - AU trending, Early Signee & Enrollee, Has 3 to play 3
3* OT Jordan Williams - GT commit AU monitoring & may be working to flip

DE 0-1
4* Juco Deandre Butler - February signee: May OV in January & a guy AU could take depending how other dominoes fall.

DT 1-2
4* McKinnley Jackson - Final 4 of AU, LSU, Texas A&M, & Bama: February Signee
3* Dallas Walker - (Texas A&M): Visited AU 3 times in the past month, Will UOV A&M this weekend: Dog fight: Early Signee

BUCK 1
3* Romello Height - (Miami): AU trying to flip: Passed Webb on staff's' board after in person evals to both: EE & Early Signee
3* Juco Yaya Diaby - AU hasn't offered but could be one to watch pending how other dominoes fall:

LB 1
4* Desmond Tisdol - AU /Vols battle: Early signee: OVing Vols this weekend: Still not sure AU is pushing as hard as the Vols
3* Eric Shaw - (South Carolina): Could be one to watch if AU misses on Tisdol

CB 1
4* Juco CB Brian George - Visited for the IB then OVed the next week: AU leads: Expected to commit this week. EE & Early Signee
4* Eric Reed - AU/UGAbattle with UGA trending: Behind George on the board & maybe Appiak also:
NR Juco Emmanuel Appiah - Led all jucos in INTs: He or Reed could be next on the board if AU misses on George

That group enrolling early will be so critically important to next year's success it's insane.

Another quarterback on campus will be great (Garnett), three OL will be important, Tank is a monster, Walker might be a legitimate part of the rotation, and Domio will be a stud.

If Criswell had us all but eliminated then I would bet we'll take lil' Morris

Pegues is a kid I've been hoping to get for a hot minute

Flax would be an Auburn lock if I had to make a pick today

We need McKinnley Jackson bad. Walker would be nice as well.

Tisdol continues to baffle me even though I've read the thread. Wish we would just push hard with him already. I really like the kid and think he'd do well with us.

Brian George seems like he's been in the mix for a minute now. Hope he picks us soon! Him and Domio would be huge additions to the secondary.

Andy Boykin is the only 1 I can think of that fits that description. He's going to juco.

[ellitor 33,077]

Dropped Criswell & added Spann at QB plus a Tisdol update

[The Plainsman 948]

I think we land Tisdol.  Dudes pretty athletic!

That’s huge for Tisdol to cancel! Oh yeah!

Normally when we slow-play a good prospect that wants to come to AU, we lose him. Here's hoping that Tisdol's long time desire to be an Auburn Tiger outweighs any hurt feelings he may have about not being allowed to commit earlier in the cycle.

Agreed, we usually don't get these. Still, our LBs have balled out lately and they look like a fun group/coach dynamic.

Don't think he's ever had any hurt feelings. Apparently the staff did a good job communicating with him so he didn't.

Yup. From recruiting to development to production, we're the total package at that position and we can afford to be picky.  Hard to imagine whining about that instead of celebrating it.

If we could get Broderick Jones how nice would it be to take one from Georgia for a change

Indeed. However, while anything is possible in recruiting, I haven't seen the Jones to AU idea under any heading other than the pipe dreams of we Auburn fans.

[ellitor 33,077]

Friday update: Added Juco DT Marquis Burks, Updated notes on QB Spann, Removed Romello Height

[McLoofus 35,182]

Burks's metrics suggest he might be able to provide depth at DE, too. Likey. 

[fredst 9,064]

I have no idea if he can play football at all but I want Yaya Diaby based on name alone. Badly.....

[ellitor 33,077]

Friday afternoon Update: Removed QBs Spann & Chandler Morris

Javion Cohen maybe?   We rescinded his offer after he visited uat.

@around4ever His post was before Cohen decommitted, I mean had his offer pulled. Pretty sure bg was asking about Andy Boykin. He's the only decommit we came back to lead with at any point. He's going to juco though.
